update Intel ice network driver for E810 series devices to version 1.15.4 (current)
Open, Requires assessmentPublicFEATURE REQUEST

Description

Please update the Intel ice network driver for E810 series devices currently included in the VyOS 1.5 nightly build to the most recent driver published by Intel (ice-1.15.4.tar.gz, see https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/19630/intel-network-adapter-driver-for-e810-series-devices-under-linux.html). I was not able to determine the exact version of the currently included kernel driver; modinfo ice did not yield any version information), but it seems rather outdated.
Perhaps this request is a duplicate of T5990.
Alternatively, I would be willing to swap the existing ice.ko myself in my VyOS installation for a newer, self-built version, but I am lacking documentation guidance and/or the skill set to tweak the vyos-nightly-build to include a newer version of ice.ko
